Philip ran out of time while taking a multiple-choice test and plans to guess the last 4 questions. Each question has 5 possible

choices, one of which is correct. Let X=X=X, equal the number of answers Philip correctly guesses in the last 444 questions. Assume that the results of his guesses are independent.
What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions?

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

Considering that there are 4 questions, and each has 5 choices, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 4, p = 1/5 = 0.2.

The probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions is P(X = 1), hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.4096

0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

You are still debating about the two different computers. If you are paid $10.00/hour and your deductions are FICA (7.65%), fede
sattari [20]

Answer:

89 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve all the deductions.

For each multiply the $10, which you are paid, and the percentage.

For FICA: $10 x 0.0765 = $0.77 per hr

For Fed tax: $10 x 0.12 = $1.2 per hr

For State tax: $10  x 0.08 = $0.8 per hr

Now subtract the remaining pay:

10 – 0.77 – 1.2 – 0.8 = $7.23

Time required = $640 / $7.23 per hr

Time required = 89 hrs

Final answer:

89 hours

What are 3 completed examples for functions?
Lyrx [107]
Example 1

Write y = x2 + 4x + 1 using function notation and evaluate the function at x = 3.

Solution

Given, y = x2 + 4x + 1

By applying function notation, we get

f(x) = x2 + 4x + 1

Evaluation:


Substitute x with 3

f (3) = 32 + 4 × 3 + 1 = 9 + 12 + 1 = 22

Example 2

Evaluate the function f(x) = 3(2x+1) when x = 4.

Solution

Plug x = 4 in the function f(x).

f (4) = 3[2(4) + 1]

f (4) = 3[8 + 1]

f (4) = 3 x 9

f (4) = 27

Example 3

Write the function y = 2x2 + 4x – 3 in function notation and find f (2a + 3).

Solution

y = 2x2 + 4x – 3 ⟹ f (x) = 2x2 + 4x – 3


Substitute x with (2a + 3).

f (2a + 3) = 2(2a + 3)2 + 4(2a + 3) – 3

= 2(4a2 + 12a + 9) + 8a + 12 – 3
= 8a2 + 24a + 18 + 8a + 12 – 3
= 8a2 + 32a + 27
